How would you write characters playing vid games?
Like, character - game - character - game
Back and forth, very quick shots
I have something, but I would like to improve if I can.

How about:
INT. LIVING ROOM - NIGHT
JOE (16) sits on the edge of his couch. His fingers dance around a Playstation 3 control as he stares blankly at the video game playing on his television, three feet away from him.
From the first person POV, a rifle scope looks over four ENEMY REBELS in the distance.
JOE stares on as his fingers race around the controls.
BLAM!
One rebel's head explodes in a bloody tempest. His friends look in horror before grabbing their rifles and shooting at the soldier. The scope moves from onhe rebel to another, shooting.
Joe doesn't blink.
For a spec script, you don't need headers each time you go from Joe to the game. It's understood.
Phil

I did it your way and saved some space.
Thanks Philly :)
